Excellent!

Librarian Leslie

This is such a wonderful resource for all of us who get to share books with kids. I’m a Children’s Librarian at a public library and I appreciate all the great book recommendations. I also enjoy getting a “behind the pages” listen to the back story on books and the writing process. Thanks, Corrina!

So inspiring and helpful!
